Drive a RV and go farming in ancient times.

Nowadays, filial piety is more important than heaven. As a child, you are naturally in a disadvantaged position. No matter how bad your parents are, you have to endure it, otherwise your reputation will be ruined and you will be cast aside by everyone.

Especially for scholars, it will affect the imperial examination.

Therefore, for Xu Huaiyi to speak openly about not supporting parents, it is definitely a challenge to others' ability to bear it.

Village Chief Xu's face changed in shock, "Huaiyi, just pretend you didn't say what you just said, and we didn't hear it either. No one is allowed to mention it after leaving this door."

The younger ones looked at each other.

Xu Huaiyi smiled nonchalantly and said, "Uncle Village Chief, since I dare to say it, I dare to admit it. You don't have to cover up for me. I live with a clear conscience and am not afraid of what others think."

"How can that be done? You still think too simply and too impulsively. This is not something you feel guilty about. This is filial piety. You want to take the imperial examination. How can you be blamed?" Xu The village chief was anxious for him, with a worried look on his face, and gave Xu Maoyuan a wink, gesturing for him to give him a few words of advice.

Xu Maoyuan smiled bitterly and said, "Huaiyi, I know that you have feelings for your parents and brothers and don't want to have any contact with them anymore, but one moment and another, now you have finally been admitted to Jingwu Academy, and you have gained some fame. , but you can’t be as willful as you used to be, you have to take care of your feathers.”

Xu Huaiyi twitched the corners of his lips, "If you cherish feathers, do you have to find fault for yourself? Do you have to push my wife, children and children into the fire pit again?"

Xu Maoyuan said immediately, "No, this time, I will definitely beat them and control them. I will never let them cause trouble for you again, rub your wife and children, don't worry."

Village Chief Xu took over the words and made a promise, "There is also me. I will also keep an eye on them. Anyone who dares to act like a monster will be kicked out of the village and left to fend for themselves."

Xu Huaiyi shook his head, "I believe in you, but I don't believe in them. A country's nature is easy to change, but its nature is hard to change. How long can I expect you to restrain me?"

Xu Maoyuan said sincerely, "It's just a temporary stay. When they build a new house, they will naturally move out. You have already separated. There is no reason to get involved together."

"It's easy to invite the gods but hard to send them away. After they've come in, are they still willing to leave?" Xu Huaiyi laughed at himself, "Anyway, I don't believe in them. I know their temperament too well. They wanted to squeeze all the energy out of me before. Flesh and blood, go and support them, they are finally separated, and I will never make the same mistake again."

"Yes, but if they propose to live with you and you don't care, it will harm your reputation. No matter how bad they are, they are still your parents and brothers. Outsiders don't care about the reasons, they only care about the results."

"Uncle, have you forgotten? I am no longer a Xu family member. When I marry into the Gu family, I am a Gu family member. They also have four sons. There is no reason for me, the son-in-law, to support them, right? In addition, there is something you might also want to do. I don’t know, this house, including the workshop and the village, all belong to my daughter-in-law. To put it bluntly, even I am staying here, so what shame do I have to go to the Gu family to bring someone in?"

"What?" Xu Maoyuan looked shocked and looked at him in disbelief, "Is everything you said true?"

Xu Huaiyi nodded and said lightly, "My daughter-in-law earned all the money in the family. Isn't it natural that the house and land we bought are in her name?"

Xu Maoyuan, "..."

The others didn't know what to say for a while.

This thing is really unbelievable. Although this dynasty allows women to establish households and own private property, people still have a tradition that has existed for thousands of years. All property belongs to men, and only men have the right to inherit. Women only have dowry. It's your own.

After a while, Village Chief Xu was the first to calm down, "I know what to do. When the time comes, Maoyuan, please take the initiative to take over. You are brothers, and they should live with you."

With this arrangement, Xu Huaiyi can be removed as much as possible without damaging his reputation.

Xu Maoyuan sighed, "Okay, just stay over here."

Xu Huaiyi's eyes flashed, thinking that he had helped the village so much and finally saw results. Even if he was 'unfilial', they were still willing to stand by him and take the initiative to smooth things over for him.

He cleared his throat and said, "Uncle, you don't need to be embarrassed. If they really come to us, they will definitely have to build a house to accommodate them. There are so many people living in other people's homes, and it's okay for three or two days. As time goes by, there may be a lot of trouble. Otherwise, before they come, we can carve out an open space and build some simple houses for them to live in temporarily. When next spring comes, we will have some With the remaining money, each family will allocate land to build another one."

Xu Maoyuan was stunned, "Is this possible?"

"Why can't it be done? How much trouble will this save? No one's house is big. If you cram people into it, it will be so crowded. How can you live a happy life?"

"Then build a house..."

"I'll provide the money, and everyone will contribute."

"Then you didn't suffer a loss?"

"I won't suffer a loss. When they get a new house in the future, they will all move out. I will use the vacant house as a workshop without wasting it."

"Do you want to open another workshop?"

"I have this plan, but I haven't decided what to do yet. We'll talk about it later."

Xu Maoyuan was speechless and looked at Village Chief Xu. Village Chief Xu pondered, "I think Huaiyi's proposal is good. I don't know how many people can come. If it's all, more than a hundred people will be really troublesome. No matter where you live, No family is immune to conflicts and discomfort, so it would be better to build a new house as Huaiyi said and give them a temporary transition."

Xu Huaiyi nodded, "Uncle, if you don't bother me with anything, I'll leave it to you. If you have experience in how to build a house, just follow the drawings I gave you before."

With that said, he took out a fifty-tael silver note from his arms and handed it over.

Xu Maoyuan took it mechanically, "Okay, I understand."

Upon seeing this, Village Chief Xu suggested, "Huaiyi, if you have a lot of money, you might as well buy a Zhuangzi and build the house inside the Zhuangzi. This way you kill two birds with one stone and don't waste any money."

What's even better is that the people from my hometown have come to live in Zhuangzi, so they are far away from each other and avoid causing trouble.

Xu Huaiyi smiled and said, "Uncle the village chief is still thoughtful. I will go to the village chief Hu tomorrow morning and ask if there is any open space around. If I buy too much land, it can be used."

After finalizing these things, let’s talk about business.

Liu Xiuwen showed Xu Huaiyi the latest accounts. The amount had increased more than ten times. This was just the beginning. Su Zhe would taste the benefits in the future, and the demand would continue to increase, and the workshop would really have a lot of money.

Gao Zhuang reported on the handover situation with Manager Li. Now, because people inside and outside the city are busy with disaster relief, it is not a good time to launch a new hot pot. Therefore, the base ingredients and fermented bean curd were all transported to the northwest by caravans. Testing the waters, however, the disaster relief has been stable in the past two days, and Shuiyunxuan is already preparing for new activities.

Xu Huaixiao also talked about the production plan and arrangements of the workshop. The personnel are in place and there is no need to work overtime yet. What will happen in the future remains to be seen.

Meng Erzhu also spoke bravely. Although he was stumbling, he explained everything he had purchased recently.

Finally, Village Chief Xu made a summary. The tofu shop is developing well and prospering. As long as everyone works together, there is a lot to do.

After the meeting, Xu Huaiyi prepared a gift for everyone, and they happily took it home.
